Replacing Fuel Level Senders...
      
      
      Dear Listers,
      
      Well, okay, so I've resigned myself to replacing my Princeton capacitance fuel
      level probes with the standard S&W float probea from Van's.  Has anyone replaced
      these without removing the wing or the fuel tank from the airplane?  Basically
      just doing it from underneath the airplane through the gap afforded by the
      fuselage-to-wing fairing?  Is this even possible?
      
      I know that it won't be possible to remove the Princeton units without destroying
      them, but can the S&W probes be installed?  If I can do it without pulling
      the fuel tanks or wings off, then I might just tackle this sooner than later.
      But if the tanks have to come off, then I might procrastinate more and enjoy
      the great flying weather.  That being said, I'm going in for paint in either August
      or October and it has to be complete before then either way.
      
      Arg, why couldn't those Princeton probes just work?  Geeze, how much do you have
      to spend to get a product that works.  How frustrating.
      
      So, how accurate are the bending dimensions on the Van's plans for the S&W float
      arms?  I've got no way to test or trial fit these units so its a one-shot deal.
      I've already pulled the probes out once, I definitely don't want to do this
      again!
      
      Thanks for the insight...
